What recent reviews say

Searra Hazel and Lauren Jacoby lead a team that earns consistent praise for responsiveness, legal knowledge, and genuine care with clients. Multiple reviewers name paralegal Mr. Sutherland and estate planner Marie Maney as standouts. One detailed complaint raises serious concerns about billing practices in a simple uncontested divorce that ballooned from a $5,000 retainer to over $9,000, with heavy charges for document scanning, filing, and administrative tasks rather than substantive legal work. The reviewer followed the firm's instructions on dispute resolution but felt the firm charged her credit card before responding to her objections.

Most other clients report fair pricing and smooth handling of family law, estate planning, and custody matters. The firm operates across Princeton, Linwood, Parsippany, and surrounding New Jersey counties. Prospective clients should clarify upfront exactly how administrative work will be billed and what the realistic fee range is for their specific matter type.
